Will do, thanks for all your help Jorge, enjoy the beer

That's really good info. Does the same advise follow for the array running e-xfs?

Whelp.. you made that pretty easy tbh. If you're not getting paid for supporting all of us, you should be. In your experience, is there any benefit of setting a higher block size for storing video files?

Thanks Jorge The drives are empty, I moved everything off of them whilst I was looking into the ZFS pool mechanics and ZIL/L2ARC. root@UNRAID:~# btrfs fi usage -T /mnt/ssds Overall: Device size: 709.79GiB Device allocated: 4.06GiB Device unallocated: 705.73GiB Device missing: 232.87GiB Device slack: 0.00B Used: 288.00KiB Free (estimated): 353.86GiB (min: 353.86GiB) Free (statfs, df): 237.43GiB Data ratio: 2.00 Metadata ratio: 2.00 Global reserve: 5.50MiB (used: 0.00B) Multiple profiles: no Data Metadata System Id Path RAID1 RAID1 RAID1 Unallocated Total Slack -- ---------- ------- --------- -------- ----------- --------- ----- 1 /dev/dm-12 1.00GiB 1.00GiB 32.00MiB 236.43GiB 238.46GiB - 2 /dev/dm-13 - 1.00GiB 32.00MiB 237.43GiB 238.46GiB - 3 missing 1.00GiB - - 231.87GiB 232.87GiB - -- ---------- ------- --------- -------- ----------- --------- ----- Total 1.00GiB 1.00GiB 32.00MiB 705.73GiB 709.79GiB 0.00B Used 0.00B 128.00KiB 16.00KiB

I've added the SSDs into a pool and it's showing a third drive, even though I selected the pool as 2 devices. diskFsType="luks:btrfs" diskUUID="eab4777f-2033-473c-ae67-a392aa7474a5" diskAutotrim="on" diskCompression="on" diskWarning="" diskCritical="" diskShareEnabled="yes" diskShareFloor="" diskComment="" diskExport="-" diskFruit="no" diskSecurity="public" diskReadList="" diskWriteList="" diskVolsizelimit="" diskCaseSensitive="auto" diskExportNFS="-" diskExportNFSFsid="0" diskSecurityNFS="public" diskHostListNFS="" diskFsProfile="raid1" diskFsWidth="3" diskFsGroups="1" diskSpindownDelay="-1" diskSpinupGroup="" diskId="Samsung_SSD_850_PRO_256GB_S251NXAH116032A" diskIdSlot="-" diskSize="250059064" diskId.1="Samsung_SSD_850_PRO_256GB_S251NXAH116940Y" diskIdSlot.1="-" diskSize.1="250059064" diskId.2="" diskIdSlot.2="-" diskSize.2="0" I've attempted to remove the Pool which basically just stalls the GUI. + The pool can't be removed via GUI, has to be removed via deleting the pool cfg file. There appears to be something wrong with the config somewhere else?

I went searching in the syslog.txt file for Error, Cache and Pool - I couldn't see anything

Are you a wizard?

Unraid Version: 7 Motherboard: Super Micro MBD-H11SSL-I302P-MA015-O CPU: AMD Epyc 7302P Ram: 128 GB Hard Drives: 8 10tb (5 Seagate, 3 western digital) - 2 parity, all on the array, xfs encrypted 6 x 4tb (Western digital) - zfs mirror, 3 vdev 2 x 256gb SSDs - Cache 2 x 2tb NVME - Cache (PCIE Card) Networking: 2 x 1Gbpss fail over (Static - 192.168.0.0/24 onboard) 1 x 10Gbps (Static - 192.168.1.0/30 isolated pcie card) I've gone over the unclean shutdown thread and nothing in there helped. I can SSH into the server and access the Web UI via ikvm, however it just tries to load the web page and fails - 500 internal server error. I've attempted to boot in safemode with gui and without - no plugins both times - and neither mode allowed access to the web GUI. VM & Docker were also stopped at the time. SMB shares are also inaccessible however, the Root Global Share does show up in NETMAN (windows 10) but does no load any folders when you open it. I don't have syslog available prior to the unclean shutdown. Nginx will not start on boot and when I start it manually, the engine gives out a 500 internal server error. I've re-downloaded the Unraid OS and compared the USB stick to the Downloaded archive and can't see any differences side from the /config directory, which is to be expected. I've been able to start Nginx and PHP-FM as per below. LSOF shows not files being accessed on Disks though - which I think it why the server isn't starting properly. root@UNRAID-SERVER:/var/log# lsof | grep disk root@UNRAID-SERVER:/var/log# /etc/rc.d/rc.nginx start rc.nginx: Starting Nginx server daemon... rc.nginx: Nginx server daemon...
